Peter King Says Johnny Is A Buccaneer Man

May 6th, 2014

What an appropriate color top

The national media honcho with arguably the best NFL sources, the most street cred — and the guy who has inhaled the most pre-draft smoke — believes Johnny Football will be a Tampa Bay Buccaneer in a matter of hours.

King predicts “who teams will select,” versus what he thinks should happen. Below are his top-7 picks. Joe finds the Bucs’ call especially intriguing given how much 1-0n-1 time King has spent with Johnny Football and undoubtedly talked to him about what kind of vibe/feedback he got from teams.

On the Bucs’ selection of Johnny Football, King wrote, “Wow. Three players in a row from A&M. Imagine that. If the Bucs do this, Manziel gets to learn for at least half the season behind Josh McCown (a very good player-coach), and the Bucs might be able to turn Mike Glennon into a late day-two pick.”

Joe wishes he was in lockstep with King. It would be an outstanding move for the Bucs to draft Johnny Football and get a third-round pick for Glennon. Regular readers here know Johnny Football is Joe’s preferred pick. However, Joe would be surprised if Johnny Football is sitting there gift wrapped for Tampa Bay at No. 7, and Glennon likely only fetches a fourth-rounder.

Joe believes there are flimsy odds (19 percent chance?) Johnny Football gets past both Jacksonville and Cleveland. And Joe doesn’t expect the Bucs to trade up.

However, Joe’s Johnny Football fantasy just got a shot in the arm. Joe might have to spring for a succulent black grouper and fries lunch to celebrate.

@Rob – Over the course of the last 4-5 years the definition of “Buccaneer Man” has gone from being a party guy to a shut up and do your job guy to whatever it means this year. It’s a meaningless term right now and, until we have about 5-6 years of continuity and an identity, I agree that we should put the term to bed.

The Bucs are not getting a 3rd round pick for Glennon unless they trade him before the draft….which obviously also tips their hand and allows someone to jump in front of them. He’ll be dealt after (or if) a QB is drafted and net a 6th rounder, maybe a 5th.

Well, if this does come to be true, at least the Bucs games should be entertaining watching JF panic and frantic running around in circles just before fumbling the ball away or getting plowed constantly by defenders…

I really have no idea what they’re going to do. If they plan on sticking with McCown they’ll need to really solidify this O-Line. If they pass on that they’ll have to go for a Manziel type, someone who can escape the pressure that’s sure to come.
and if they go with a rookie QB they better get him some help (Landry or Lee). If they pass on both those scenarios they better build this defense into the top five. Either way, they’ve at least done a good job of building a blinding cloud of smoke. Hell we may end up with Anthony Barr and T. Boyde.

Whatever… that chick is hot, end of story. As far as eyeliner, I didn’t realize she had eyes. As far as her fake melons…pffffft. If that’s your opinion then you probably have ZERO experience. Trust me, they look better than the real thing and taste exactly the same.

If the Bucs aren’t near the top of league in rushing by week 5 Luke or Josh or what ever McCown wont be secure in there starting role. His career 77 passer rating is less than our third stringers passer rating 83.9.

Seems like lots of people are judging Johnny Football by all the tallent he is pulling. Hate to break it to you but that’s why they started playing the game. Do.you think Glennon sings in the choir on his off days? Nope, he’s getting after it. You think Freeman wasn’t out there gettin all he could? Don’t hate.
